The article reads:V for Valentine?
Natalie Portman and Jake Gyllenhaal have long denied rumors of romance but these pictures capture tham captivating each other on a sunny afternoon in the West Village. Brokeback Mountain star Gyllenhaal waited for V for Vendetta actress Portman with a dozen tulips. He sat, fidgeted and frequently checked the time, but brightened up with a grin when he spotted his date. They hugged, kissed, then strolled along until arriving for an early dinner at The Spotted Pig on West 11th Street according to eye witnesses.
Inside the Michellin-starred gastro-pub Gyllenhaal must have surprised Portman with the bouquet. She left the restaurant smiling and holding them - an him.
"The guy looks like he's in love," said one witness to the wooing.
Well, you could do worse, Natalie.

W O W !!!!!!!!!!
Ok...kissed could be an ordinary kiss you know.. But still, why not?
Well, now. That's interesting.
Aaw...Jake being fidgety and waiting for a girl with flowers is just the cutest image I could think of. I love that inset picture.
Yeah... I mean.... WHY NOT a romance here. If you've been hurt in your last relationship there is nothing more logical than to fall for someone who really knows you from before..
Oh, they have been friends for a long time, I think they even grew up as neighbours or something. I don't think there's anything romantic here (not that I would mind, they DO make a really cute couple), I think they are just too good friends enjoying each others company. Also there was a sighting earlier this week on Gawker Stalker that said "they looked like friends without the benefits".
But, no one would be happier than me if they got together. I think Natalie is awesome!
In love? Who knows, but they both look really happy in that pic. Maybe they're just gastronomically satisfied. But I kind of like the idea of two people who have been comfortable as friends suddenly realizing (or slowly growing to realize) that they could be really good for each other in a romantic way.
I'd prefer Natalie to Kirsten any day... Good friends can work romatically. Time will tell whether this is just a hype or the real deal. Either way, he deserves to be happy with someone who appreciates him!
By the way, kind of new here, but I think you're all brilliant! :)

What about the numerous reports, including Defamer in February, that Portman is back with Bernal?
No, no, no, not natalie! I want him with jeniffer! (second best thing after me with him)not that anyone actually cares 4 my oppinion...
Jenny is so pretty! I dont like natalie, she annoys me in starwars and her mouth are always half open. I dont like that type of girls. But hed be sooo hot with jen. And i think she would totally forget brad.
how old is this article? didnt he like go somwhere? I thought he shaved his beard, im depressed now...
Well, imo Jake fits wonderfully with Natalie, after Kirsten she seems the best option for him.
Jen is a bitter divorced woman, but Natalie is so gorgeous and kind, just as Jake.
Somehow that article reads like a Press Release to me, although I think Natalie Portman is pretty alright.
At the moment, I still get a "good friends vibe" more than a "romantic chemistry" there. But I like anyone who can bring out a nice smile on Jake, be it Natalie or Austin or Atticus.
Those pictures look like they aren't too recent. Everyone knows they are friends...I agree, looks like a press release to me.
Poor Jake. He can't have men friends, he can't have women friends.
There was a gawker sighting of them on 5/22, so this picture may have been taken the. It's obvous he shaved after this if you look at the pap pictures of him in NY on the 23, 24. BTW, Natalie and Gael are kaput!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NO!! NO!!! NO!!! NO!!
Not Natalie!!! No!!
Well, if that so I'm so glad. I hope he travels the world and get to know people like Natalie Portman does. She's beautiful, nice and wonderful. I met her once.
However, there was a gawker sighting about their meeting, and the stalker described it as looking like friends without the benefits. I think maybe they had some sort of argument or fight in the past that got them to separate and made peace that day. Whatever the reason for their meeting, the flowers were a nice gesture from Jake.
QUESTION FOR BRITPOTBABY
What magazine is the article from? You cited none.
I meant BritpoPbaby, and not Britpotbaby.Sorry for the mistake.
I agree with chantelle. NOT NATALIE PLEASE, that would be so annoying. WHY!!! and yeah, whats so bad about being single? Why do people see it as a disturbing phaze between relationships? We are all still young, stop taking everything so seriously. people just wanna have fun. And i really hope they arent 2gether...
Sorry, it's from Friday's New York post via IHJ
I just want him to be happy!
But he and Chris sher look cute together!!!
:-) :-* :-)
I like the new colour scheme Britpopbaby! And is that piture at the top from an inspector calls?
The colour is much better than the light poo before.
Gael Garcia Bernal is so hot!
she has the hottest guys :)
Yeah it is! Points to you br33n. I thought dark blues might make us feel more naughty and mysterious. Not finished tweaking - have to realign the boxes and erase all traces of blue.
Thank God. Such a step up from Drunkst.
... But, frequently checking the time? It looks like he was text-messaging her (where are you, we're late), not checking the time. The story's overblown. But if it's true, see my above comment.
Natalie seems to be a smart girl. She graduated form Harvard in 2003, for God's sake! She likes travelling, she's seen the world, she was born in Jerusalem, which is absolutely amazing. She's Jewish and I think Jake's mom likes her a lot:)I liked her a lot in "Closer". And she shares her birthday with Johnny Depp!:) I'm rambling now... And let's not forget that she is as beautiful as they come. Jake,honey, you have my blessing for this.
It says on imdb.com that "she graduated with honors, and her academic achievements allowed her to attend Harvard". Wow!!!
Jake,honey, you have my blessing for this.
I so second that.
Supernice background
Ah, how lovely! This has warmed the cockles of my heart. Jake seems like such a gentleman that I imagine this is the kind of way he'd behave when meeting a platonic female friend, especially one that he's known for years, but if he and Natalie are together - yay for them! I think she's smashing. But who knows whether this is in any way accurate? The press have a skill for distortion. It's just great to see Jake enjoying some quality female company and being clearly happy.
Aaw...Jake being fidgety and waiting for a girl with flowers is just the cutest image I could think of.
I know! Isn't that adorable?
Jen is a bitter divorced woman
Huh? What gives you that impression?
Jake and Natalie look so great together, and I love that he's smiling! Whether they're just friends or more, it really doesn't matter to me. As long as she keeps him smiling, she's all right in my book!
I so love the new blue too! It's blue like his hoodie... :)
..but I prefered the old one pic on the top... the girl with the spec... this one is a little spooky..
I don't think it's anything romantic.They have been friends for years,but how sweet he turns up with tulips.Bless his little cotton socks.
I read that review of JW againg and I can't stop laughing :) :) :) I person who don't care about Jake Gyllenhaal... :) :) Why would that person even try to review it..it's so silly!!!
Don't yall feel it too? There is Sunday Project in the air. . . . :)
Wahay, all the revising for my english literature exam seem to finally have become somwhat useful! Points to me indeed. ^_^
Nice to see Jake happy.
They are old friends, I've seen pictures of them hanging out from 2001, but I guess it could be romance, or just a great friendship. *shrug*
Sorry still not buying it. Unless I read/hear them say it in an interview or their are more substantial sightings... They've been friends for so long and I've brought my friends flowers when I thought they needed them (and even fidgeted if I'm left having to wait). I've also kissed them hello and the article doesn't exactly say what kind of kiss it is. Smiling and feeling happy can make a person feel in love but isn't necessarily the same. They still seem like friends to me.
B O L L O C K S. I don't buy it.
Smiling and feeling happy can make a person feel in love but isn't necessarily the same.
Meant to say can make a person look in love, not feel...
They would make a cute couple but I think they are 2 very good friends laughing and enjoying each other's company. Flowers don't mean anything - I've received flowers from both male and female friends. You've gotta give me more than this. Only time will tell when it comes to Jake.
I won't be mad if this is or turns into romance. She's cute as a button and I like her style.
GAAH! I guess I came in mid change. That scary trenchcoat dude is gonna give me nightmares britpop, please reconsider. The old banner was way nicer with the cute little cartoon girl and her binoculars and Jakey looking over his shoulder suspecting someone is staring at his arse.
The blue is pretty though.
Britpopbaby.The old banner was nicer.Sorry.
The banner up is just temporary because I need the old banner making larger. Bear with me!
I like the new blue background too!
And even though I need more evidence to believe in this alleged relationship, I DO like Natalie (LOVED her in Garden State, brilliant film btw), and I'd be happy to see them together.
Aww, Jakey's gorgeous smile. Makin me melt like an ice cream on a hot summer's day..
I like the idea of Jake and Natalie together. I think they make a good couple. But, of course, Jake and I would make a PeRfEcT couple!! teehee.. :P
Looks a bit like while their exes (Gael and Kirsten) were basking in the spotlight at Cannes, Jake and Natalie decided to create a little media heat of their own.
Umm is it too late for me to put in a bid for Gael and Jake?
Go away Squall, please.
"All this won't stop me from directing some bitter jealousy and complex love-hate feelings her way.
Just the price of business, Portman."
I second that! And I do think, like so many others, that Natalie is better for him than Dunst
HEY! Leave squall alone. This is one of the few sites where the Toothy people and the Jake-is-straight people can hang out and have fun together. We want it to stay that way. And for the record, Gael and Jake would be hot, so there.
So it does look as if Jake likes girls, at least a little. Or at least enough to be friends with them, to eat in restaurants with them & bring them flowers. I'm not sure he's dating Natalie Portman, though. And he gave an even bigger bouquet of flowers to Ellen when he went on her show, so that is just a charming gesture, not necessarily romantically charged. I agree with whoever said that the press (or even his own PR people) appear to be throwing females at him, hoping that one sticks. There's beginning to be a pattern here, with a very public sighting, or just a bit of gossip without even a picture attached to it, a little uproar in some of the press, then a lot of speculation, lots of blog posting .... all dwindling down to nothing. Jake, I hope this doesn't happen again & again all summer, or I'll grow weary & cynical. Though I know you can't help it, really. (Unless your PR people are doing it, on purpose.)
Oh shut mop, the tinhats hate this place.
"(Unless your PR people are doing it, on purpose.)"
Interesting thought.
I enjoy all the estrogen that fuels the Jake speculation that occurs on this particular blog. I feel at home here, squeeing with all the gifrlfriends. Personally, I don't feel completely comfortable elsewhere on the Web in the places where the Jake-obsessed meet, for various reasons -- even though many of those places are perfectly wonderful & many others love them, as they should. So I'm grateful to BritPopBaby for all her hard work in keeping this place clean & supplying my jones for Jake.
All the gay rumors was bullshit and made up by desperate gay men who wanted a hot man on their team. J
Jake was never gay but Ted C., a delusional, drunk, botox obsessed, gossip columner made up the gay rumors about our dear Jakey.
Jake, if you're reading this, ignore these lame-ass rumors and live your life.
* I really hope he hooks up with Nat because she and Jake are a match made in heaven. I seriously always wanted them together. Yeppee!!!!!!!
Natalie and Jake could be a very nice couple. Both are intelligent and charismatic.
I wonder where Jake bought that T-shirt. It has the national seal of my country...Peru (South America)!!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seal_of_Peru
Who cares about Ted Casablanca. I was just defending our squall from idiocy. God, I hope people like this don't ruin this site...
All the gay rumors was bullshit and made up by desperate gay men who wanted a hot man on their team.
Um, considering there tends to be tons of women who are thinking that he could be gay or bi too, I don't think it's fair at all to make that assumption.
Jake, if you're reading this, ignore these lame-ass rumors and live your life.
You're acting all giddy about a RUMOR over Natalie right after you say this statement. So how is that rumor any less "lame-ass" as the other rumors over who he is dating? For all you know, Jake finds it obnoxious that people would assume he's dating Natalie just because he brought her flowers. Maybe he's just as tired of the press linking him to every single girl he interacts with. Maybe Jake wishes people would allow him to be good friends with someone like Natalie without thinking that it means something romantic. You really have no idea which rumors he is fine with and which he's annoyed by.
Also just to add a small NYC detail - the Post writer makes it seem like he bought her some sort of big bouquet of flowers, as some sort of grand romantic gesture - those tulips are the $5 ones you get at the deli right by The Spotted Pig. I buy them all the time for my apartment.
Not that the detail makes a difference, but I noticed the uber-dramatic way the Post writer is reporting this story.
It's called PR dear.Jake was meeting Natalie for lunch and bought her some tulips. But of course they're dating now. LOL. I wouldn't get too giddy yet.
I am sick and tired of going to any messageboard that concerns Jake and there is the inevitable "Jake is Toothy Tile" rumors. Guess what, I don't believe those rumors and just because I don't doesn't mean that I am homophobic.
Guys, her birthday is coming up. I'd say it's a lot more likely he got her flowers for that than because they're going to be dating. I think it's great that they can be good friends and not have to worry about all the annoying stuff that can come with dating.
I do like Natalie better than Kirsten. And of course I want him to be happy. But I stil wamt to cry my eyes out.
*Heavy Sigh* Why do people get actually threatened by the mere thought of Jake with a dude. Keep in mind that 90% of what I say is tounge-in-cheek. Anons need not blow a blood vessel defending what I am sure are Jake's Punani Plundering ways. Can't get enough of them girls. No sirree bob. No boys for that man. HE's AAAALLLL MANLY MAN. You see how he grows facial and body hair? Could a queer do that? Naaaah!
Better now? Let's hug it out bitch.
Thanks mop :o)
Whats a tin hat?
Who is chris sher? What's tin hat?
I wish people would speak english. It's all bloody confusing. It's TT this, WT that.WTF is going on.LOL
^LOL at anon above
Found this and think it explains perfectly the pathology of a tinhat.
"'Tinhat' is the term coined on DataLounge going back to the LOtR days of slashfic writers who believed in the concepts of DomLij and ViggOrli slash fic. LOtR tinhats got over excited in the early 2000's and several of the DL threads were deleted. Tinhattism has now come to mean in general terms, anyone (male or female) who thinks their theory is the right one. So I guess tinhattism exists in us all.
The term itself actually most likely originated from someone seeing Joaquin Phoenix in 'Signs', wearing a foil hat on his head, as an expression of his obsessiveness."
Have to add that some lovely weird old sci-fi movies also promote the idea of metall-caps or tinhats as protection against "evil mind-blowers from outaspace".
I like this place because britpop and some regulars here are tongue in cheek and intelligent, and the majority of the lovely regulars are showing no sign of tinhattism, which is rare these days especially when reading blogs. Lovely colour, btw.
I dont really understand, is it like waiting for messiah? Like, these people are waiting to see if he really is gay or what? Isnt it kinda dumb, I wouldnt care less what he is, but if he was "hiding" then why would he act in bbm, say he has nothing against it...wouldnt he act paranoyed and macho? he is liberal, if he was gay i just think he wouldnt have any problem showing it.its really irrelevant, anyway. (though imagining him with a guy is a bit of a turn on:-))
I just think we dont need to fight about it...
to anon 12:54, thank you for spelling tongue correctly. it is cyber-refreshing.
Jake must be laughing his ass off if he's reading our desperate little comments here. "Toothy Tile!/Not Toothy Tile!", "Dating Natalie!"/"Not dating Natalie!", "Dating Jen!"/"Not dating Jen!".... God we're hilarious!
Dudes! Chill out. Let's talk about Joaquin Phoenix in Signs - hottie!
Thankyou for the TT.WT.WFT explainations anon 12.41
That has at least made my sunday more restful as i will know what everyone is referring to.(I think?)xxx
I didn't know WFT blogger was a fat old bird,i thought it was this Ted one?Now i'm the confused one???Is he a different stirrer then?
Maybe i should forget all them and concentrate on Jake.Yes,i'm going to concentrate on the one and only Mr Jake Gyllenhaal.
*Heavy Sigh* Why do people get actually threatened by the mere thought of Jake with a dude. Keep in mind that 90% of what I say is tounge-in-cheek. Anons need not blow a blood vessel defending what I am sure are Jake's Punani Plundering ways. Can't get enough of them girls. No sirree bob. No boys for that man. HE's AAAALLLL MANLY MAN.

LMFAO, squall!
I said it, I said it, I said it. These two are a great team.
I love how Danyelle NEVER insults the readers of JakeWatch, but it's a free for all on here because WFT has a difference of opinion about Jake. It is pathetic that you all are so narrow-minded. And it's even sadder that britpopbaby is too cowardly to do anything about it.
You'll never be a class act. They broke the mold after Danyelle.
4:22 Dillon doesn't "insult" because she needs the "trolls" that post there, otherwise there would be the same doz. tinhats posting over and over like you. Occasionly she does something when it becomes obvious and embarrassing. Her blog hates Jake, his friends, his family, hates women and smears all any chance she gets. Take your tinhattery over to that mold under the rock if you don't like it here.
I'm not threatened by the idea of Jake with a dude. But I have indeed wondered about the women who are really into voyeurism, specifically, who can't get enough of imagining or watching two guys together. Particularly when they publicize all over the Web that that's their particular fetish, by posting in multiple forums. Like, "Look everyone, I like dude-on-dude action. Everyone, look at me. It's me again, the one who likes dude-on-dude action. Look at me, I like it, I like dude-on-dude action!" It's not really about Jake, or even about Austin. Or Chris. Or whoever. It's about them & their big thing for ... guess what ... dude-on-dude action.
Girls, too much heat going on here...
I might add to your PR or real story that on the web he just changed his personal page from single to "in a relationship"...might have done it for fun or...
anon 7:04 where did you find that? What page?! Sounds EXTREMELY interesting!! Wanna check it out!
7:04 I do believe that myspace blog isn't Jake, just a fan pretending.But hes good at it!
Dillon doesn't "insult" because she needs the "trolls" that post there, otherwise there would be the same doz. tinhats posting over and over like you.
How are regulars posting there any different than regulars posting here or on IHJ? People don't "need" trolls. It's much more enjoyable to be able to talk with people who have a shared interest and don't have to constantly fight with those that come solely to insult.
Her blog hates Jake, his friends, his family, hates women and smears all any chance she gets. Take your tinhattery over to that mold under the rock if you don't like it here.
That's an unfounded assumption on your behalf. I don't think they hate Jake at all, they just have a different opinion on who he's dating. People are talking about who he's dating on this blog too. Did you ever think that minus the fighting, people like both these blog places? That's why the insults are completely unnecessary.
But I have indeed wondered about the women who are really into voyeurism, specifically, who can't get enough of imagining or watching two guys together.
Um, isn't it still the same kind of "voyeurism" going on by people who look at pictures of Jake/Natalie, Jake/Jen, etc and start fantasizing about what's going on with them or start talking about how cute/hot/whatever those pairings are?
It's about them & their big thing for ... guess what ... dude-on-dude action.
Well you're first of all making an assumption on their interests. Second of all, just like I wrote above, how is that any different from other people who post places talking about hot couples that either are together or people want to see together?
I always feel so embarrassed for the people on myspace when they friend celebs under the assumption that they are real. I just looked up Jake and I found a bunch of pages. One you might be referring to does have it as "in a relationship"...of course it also shows him using one of the paparrazi pics as his picture and includes some pretty ridiculous entries done by "him". I wouldn't believe myspace pages unless the actor himself actually talked about it in an interview.
I love both Jake Watch and Waiting for Toothy almost equally. I love Jake Watch for the lightheartedness and funny wacky entries. Britpopbaby has a way of making phantom stalking fun! I love Waiting for Toothy for the serious tone and thoughtful discussions.To be honest it's Dany that I like the most about WFT. Despite being called every name in the book for creating a blog like hers, she's still chugging along. Plus, I like the way she writes and comes up with cute names for everyone. But everyone is entitled to their own opinion even the negative ones.
Dillon swipes her "ideas" from other blogs and and rehashes stale gossipand obsesses over handful of pictures because that's all shes got. There are other places on the net that discusses homphobia in Hollywood and such and the tone is civil, thoughtful and is written but people who know whatthey are talking back not a bunch of fangirls confusing real life with RPS .

Wow, who cares. You don't like it, don't go there. It can't get much more simple than that.

I don't think so. Every new picture of Jake is on her blog just as it is on Jake Watch, so I think the handful of pictures jibe is untrue. Swiping ideas from other blogs? That's funny. But whatever . Dany doesn't need me to defend her, she made a very valid point yesterday about not carind about this petty stuff when there is more important stuff going on in the world.
I guess I'm not helping. Sorry bripopbaby but I had to say this. So back to Jake.
dailyblabber.ivillage.com/entertainment/archives/2006/06/natalie_jake_a_hot_summer_coup.html reports that they kissed on the lips.
